  • Drew Eubanks wants to remain with Suns next season
    In a recent interview, Drew Eubanks said he wants to return to the Suns for the 2024-25 season.

    Advice: As Jusuf Nurkic’s backup this season, Eubanks appeared in 75 games (six starts). While he did not significantly impact fantasy basketball, the sixth-year pro made a positive impression on the Suns brass. Eubanks, who has a player option for next season, wants to remain with the team and also said in the interview that the Suns want him back. He has until June 29 to decide on the player option, which is worth a little over $2.65 million. Rotoworld Today, 11:56 am
     
  • Appears to hurt shoulder Friday
    Alexander-Walker played through an apparent left shoulder injury before he was ejected with 5:44 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves' 117-90 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal round, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "Right now, it hurts," Alexander-Walker said of his shoulder. "We'll see what happens [Saturday] when I wake up and everything's settled."

    Advice: Alexander-Walker scored six points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added two assists in 26 minutes off the bench before he and Kyle Anderson were both assessed technical fouls midway through the fourth quarter for arguing with officials. He appeared to hurt his shoulder shortly before the ejection, as he was on the receiving end of a hard screen, and his frustration with the officials stemmed from what he perceived as a missed foul call. The reserve wing's status is now in question for Sunday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Today, 7:19 am
     
  • Alec Burks contributes 14 points in Game 3 loss
    Alec Burks finished Friday’s 111-106 loss to the Pacers with 14 points (4-of-6 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

    Advice: That’s right, Alec Burks. After playing for one minute in Game 2, the veteran wing was in the rotation on Friday because the Knicks did not have OG Anunoby (hamstring). Give Burks credit for staying ready, as he made his first four shots from the field and gave New York welcome production off the bench. While the Knicks’ saw their series lead cut in half, getting 24 points from Burks and Miles McBride (10/1/1/1 with two 3-pointers in 29 minutes) is a positive takeaway. New York’s reserves outscored their Pacer counterparts by a 24-14 margin in Game 3, but it wasn’t enough to get the Knicks the win. Burks and McBride will have to offer similar production in Game 4 on Sunday, as Anunoby is unlikely to be available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:16 pm
     
  • Another absence coming
    Prosper (ankle) is out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Prosper will miss his eighth straight contest Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. The rookie forward's absence won't impact Dallas' rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
     
  • Dean Wade (knee) questionable Saturday vs. Celitcs
    Dean Wade (right knee sprain) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday’s matchup between the Cavaliers and Celtics.

    Advice: Wade hasn’t played since the regular season so it’s unlikely that he’ll play a significant role if he’s cleared to play. He could cut into some of Tristan Thompson’s reserve minutes if made active, though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:07 pm
     
  • Another absence coming
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter will miss his 10th straight game Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:47 pm
     
  • Remains sidelined
    Jerome (ankle) is out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 due to a right ankle injury. It appears unlikely he will suit up this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:36 pm
     
  • Iffy for Game 3
    Wade (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Wade hasn't played since March 8 due to a right knee sprain. If Wade is upgraded to available, it remains to be seen how he will be featured in Cleveland's playoff rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:33 pm
     
  • Still out for Game 2
    Prosper (ankle) will remain out for Thursday's Game 2 matchup with the Thunder.

    Advice: Prosper has seen action in just one postseason game to date, making a one-minute cameo in garbage time of the Mavericks' Game 1 win over the Clippers in the first round. He hasn't played since due to a left ankle sprain, but the rookie wouldn't be included in head coach Jason Kidd's rotation even if he were healthy. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:27 pm
